A Grounded Approach to Sound Facilitation

Designed as an immersive space for hands-on learning, these in-person training weekends offer the opportunity to work directly with instruments, explore facilitation in real time, and receive individualized guidance and feedback on your practice.

The in-person training weekends extend the principles of NTM Sound’s online Sound Facilitation Program into an in-person setting, with an emphasis on perceptual listening, technical fluency, thoughtful instrument use, and responsible facilitation. Students have space to experiment, ask questions, refine technique, and work directly with me in ways that are difficult to replicate through online study alone.

These weekends are designed to support and deepen the online programs rather than replace them, and are open to both current students and those who have not taken the program. Whether you are new to sound facilitation or have an established practice, the seminars provide a focused environment for exploration, practice, and individual support—meeting each participant at their level of experience.

❋ Hands-on Practice

Direct instrument work and guided experimentation.

❋ Small Group Learning

Limited enrollment creates space to observe, practice, listen, and learn from one another.

❋ Direct Guidance

Work directly with me and receive feedback specific to your instruments, technique, questions, and facilitation practice.

❋ Open to Every Level

New and experienced facilitators are welcome; the weekend is structured so participants can work at their own level.

Who Is This Designed For?

  • Aspiring and experienced facilitators

  • Facilitators looking to deepen their knowledge

  • Musicians wanting to shift into facilitation

  • Therapists / yoga teachers / acupuncturists / wellness practitioners

  • Complete beginners curious about sound

  • Nate Martinez mentored me in true sound Therapy several years ago, and his guidance fundamentally changed my understanding of what it means to be a profound and effective sound facilitator. Nate’s deep understanding of music theory, frequency, and all things sound—along with his background as a professional sound engineer—gives him a rare technical precision. He has a remarkable ability to work with sound slowly and intentionally, using subtle shifts in tone, rhythm, and frequency to support meditation, nervous system regulation, and deep entrainment. Beyond technique, Nate’s presence is what makes his teaching truly transformative. His sessions are not about performance, but about relationship—between sound, silence, and the human experience. I am profoundly grateful for the time I spent learning from him, and I wholeheartedly recommend his work to anyone seeking integrity, depth, and true embodiment in sound therapy.

  • "Your teaching gave me everything I needed to know for my journey– it completely changed my life. The practice has helped me fill the gaps between altruistic intention, service, creativity, and spiritual practice. Sound and silence. I now facilitate sound meditations almost on a weekly basis. It is a joy, an honor and a privilege. So thanks for being such a huge catalyst and influence and teacher."

What We’ll Explore

  • Hands-on instrument technique

  • Dynamics, touch, velocity, and restraint

  • Deep and perceptual listening

  • Working with silence and space

  • Facilitating rather than performing

  • Structuring and pacing a session

  • Practicing facilitation with the group

  • Individual feedback

  • Developing greater confidence with your own instruments

A NOTE FROM NATE:

There are aspects of sound facilitation that can be studied through reading, listening, and reflection. Others can only be understood through direct experience—how an instrument responds to touch, how sound moves through a room, how dynamics affect perception, and when it is more effective to leave space than to add more.

I created these in-person weekends to give participants a place to explore those details through practice. The focus is on working directly with instruments, listening closely, asking questions, experimenting, and receiving feedback in real time. Rather than prescribing a single approach, my goal is to help each participant develop greater awareness, technical fluency, and confidence in the choices they make as a facilitator.

These weekends are designed to complement the deeper educational foundation of the online Sound Facilitation Program, not replace it. Whether you are currently enrolled, considering the program, or already have experience facilitating sound, the intention is to provide a focused environment where you can slow down, refine your practice, and learn through direct engagement.
